"Rehearsal on the Stage" is an 1878-79 artwork by the French artist Edgar Degas. A seminal in the Impressionism movement, Degas is celebrated for his innovative compositions and distinctive technique. This particular work encapsulates his interest in ballet, a recurring theme in his oeuvre.

"Rehearsal on the Stage" is a mixed media piece, employing pastel over brush-and-ink drawing on thin, cream-coloured wove paper. Its dimensions are 21 3/8 x 24 1/2 inches (54.3 x 62.2 cm). It is currently housed in the esteemed Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France.

The piece captures a slice of life behind the scenes of a ballet rehearsal. It’s marked by its theatricality and the unusual vantage point, with the dancers seen from a skewed angle, making it feel as though the viewer is observing the scene from an unseen corner of the stage.

Degas's interest in the ballet world is reflected in the meticulous detail in which the dancers and their activities are rendered. The interplay of light and shade, the attention to the ballet costume, the treatment of spatial perspective, and the capture of spontaneous movement are characteristic elements of Degas's style and are evident in "Rehearsal on the Stage."

The artwork represents a pivotal move away from traditional portraiture and historical themes, towards capturing everyday subjects in contemporary life - a key characteristic of the Impressionist movement. It showcases Degas's pioneering use of unconventional angles and cropping, influenced by photography and Japanese prints, which was unusual at the time. This unique composition and perspective lend a dynamic and modern edge to "Rehearsal on the Stage," making it a noteworthy piece in Degas's body of work.
